Frightful Explosion.

A correspondent in South Wales writes
me as follows:
Last Friday Gsth Of February a fright
full explosion occrred at the National col
liery, Rhondda Valley, South Wales. So
soon as | learnt the fact | walked across
the mountain and found that there were
50 men in the mines. In a little while af-
ter the explosion occurred. the signal was
heard from the bottom Of the shaft and it
vas found that the explosion was
confined TO one side or district OF the mine
and the men on the other side were alive,
and very soon q were got up uniniured
and about 8 injured, one of whom died
after being brought to the surface. They
also got out 8 dead bodies while | was
there but the remainder of those killed
they will not be able to reach for q few
days i'll consequence Of the air crossing
connecting the north and south ventilation
being blown to pieces"
Rhondda Valley where this explosion
happened, is situated in the heart Of the
great South Wales coal field G~lannorgan-
shire. and the coal is the celebrated semi
antheacite steam coal which is used on all
the Antlantie teamers and those of the
Royal navy Of Great Britain. The coal is
Of a very fiery character, giving off fire
damp largely and no naked lights are al
lowed and although to the system of gov
eminent marines inspection in Great
Britain is one Of the s~trictest known, yet
those frightful calamities occasionally
happen, and constitute the one great risk
OF the miner.

cessfui descent from a height of 1, 200
feet was made here by Ned Hathaway,
an aeronaut, in thirty seconds. The
ascent was made by means OF q
hot.air balloon. The. parachute is
of n new pattern, and twenty-eight feeti in
diameter. 1t is taken up in an expanded
condition and the rope by which 1t is
fastened is loosened by a simple pull on
another rope attached to tho end of a
lever. The descent was a magnificent
sight. the parachute looking like
a huge inverted rose. Hatha-
way struck the ground very lightly,
and remained standing. He was warmly
congratulated. 1t is thought that the
new parachute okyiates the chief defects
of the old styles, and lessons much the
danger OF descent Hauheway now means
to make a tour of the state, giving exit
bitions. 81

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. ia. Bodine,
q young man, has been beating his wife.
Her women friends in the ne~ighborhood
d%etatnined to punish her husband. Sew
eral of them formed a committee for the
purpose. Bodine while drunk beat his
wife terribly and the committee of wo-
men determined to act. They entered
the house, surprised the brutal husband
in the act of striking his wife and the
spokesman, a handsome little woman
with fire in her black eyes, commanded
him to stop. He did SO and was then
told to take off his coat and vest. A
half-dozen cowhides were looking at him
from the hands Of the womtn. He
obeyed orders and whetl he had nearly
stripped to the waist the cowhides whis-
tied through the air and struck his back
in a manner that made him howl. He
was given q, sound ~thrashing and made
to promise that he would never strike
his wife again.

The State constitutional Convention Ne.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 10.-The Nor
mon state constitutional convention of
Monogamists adopted n memorial to con-
gress asking admission to the union. III
sets forth that now for the NTH time
4 Utah applies for entrance. It urges that
the people who have adopted and ratified
this constitution are law abiding citizens
of the United States; they have not vi
olated any law Of congress-: the special
provisions they have framed in reference
10 practices condemned by the popular
voice were made in good faith and so
worded that they are practically
unrepealable. Congress has not
imposed unusual requirements upon
\ new state, but the people
have placed these restrictions upon thcm-
selves in order TO meet prevailing objec-
lions and secure political harmony with
the existing ~states; In doing this they
have but exercised g reserved and consti-
t%utional right II Utah shall be admitted
into the union these provisions will be
strictly and fairly enforced. The admis-
sion of Utah, 1t Is claimed, will relieve
the government OF d question that mas
troubled 1t for q quarter of d century and
remove it from national to local repula-
ton, where 1t properly belongs. 1t will
d one more star to the National galaxy,
increase the strength Of the union, save
the country many thousands Of dollars
annually n bind to the interests
OF she nation a body Of honest, patriotic.
and grateful people who will be found,
when the mists Of Misrepresentation
and prejudice are cleared away, to be a
community of which any government
might be proud. The memorial con
cludes: I'VE ask for a republican form
of government and we ask that it he

Utah has been pleading for statehood.
Shall a deaf earl be still turned to her en-
treatiesa We hope for better things In

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Men on a strike and Winter Coming

obNA SoAutAE
MAucH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 10.-Winter
Is coming on and the twenty thousand
miners in the Lehigh region are still on
strike. There are no indications of a
settlement, and the prospects are that
much suffering will snsne among the
miners and their families. 1t is estimated
that fully 100, 900 people depend on these
men for sustenance.i Appeals for assist
ance will be made to all miners working
throughout the anthracite region. The
proprietors of the mines have refused to
recognize the Knights of Labor or the
committee appointed by the knights to
arbitrate. They say they are bound to
break up the organization. All the
miners for miles are lying idle. The ma
chinery is resting, and the operators, 1t
seems, have determined to shut down for
the winter. There is discomfort and
gloom throughout the Lehigh region.
Mr.. Powderly will probably be asked to
enlist his services for a settlement as
o as he returns from the Minneapolis
convention.
